Train No.10-0-5

Written by Sid Griffin

Train number 10 oh 5

Train leaving 10 oh 5

All aboard Miss Moses

He can't stay alive

Train number 10 oh 5

Sun coming up one morning

Softly on an old southwestern town

I see the stout gallows a-buildin'

And I wonder if we'll ever be found

The man a-sittin' in the jailhouse

The drifter the courtroom said was me

Has dined on his very last supper

In an hour his soul is set free

Cold ground awaits my double

The Dixie Flyer is a-waitin' me

'bout the time the drifter meets his Maker

I'll be 60 miles towards Tennessee

You can argue over horses

You can argue over good land

If you argue over a woman

Never overplay your hand

Never overplay your hand

All aboard Miss Moses

He can't stay alive

Train number 10 oh 5

Train number 10 oh 5
